Sperber's Yemenite Edition 42 Reading Sperber's introduction to his edition of the two first volumes, 43 one may be confused about what the Babylonian tradition is, or what Sperber understood by the Babylonian tradition. In Volume I he presents manuscripts with Babylonian Vocalization (MS Or. 2363; MS Or. 1467; MSS Or. 2228-30, all of them from the British Museum MS Socin n. 84 of the Libr. of the Deutsche Morgenlandische Gesellschaft); in Volume II appear MS Or. 2210, MS Or. 2371, MS Or. 1472, MS Or. 1471 all from the British Museum, MS Or. qu. 578 of the Staatsbibliothek in Berlin (= Tubingen): all these MSS are Yemenite, not Babylonian. It may be interesting to hear D. Barthelemy's judgement 44 on Sperber's work and on the Targum in general: 45 C'est a propos du T[argum] que le defaut d'une veritable Edition critique se fait le plus lourdement sentir. L'e"dition qu'en a donne" Sperber ne me"rite en effet guere ce litre. La tradition textuelle du T est certes trop complexe pour que Ton puisse reproduire le texte d'un MS yemenite, parfois mal choisi, en pretendant y trouver 'le Targum'. C'est pourquoi nous avons toujours ajoute aux donne"es fournies par Sperber d'autres donne"es empruntees a des temoins varies dont un certain nombre n'ont 42. Cf. A. Dfez Macho, Review of A.
